Institution Hill, Singapore

Institution Hill, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Institution Hill is a minor road in River Valley, Singapore. It is within Postal District 09. The road connects on one end to River Valley Road, and reaches a dead end on the other. It is a leafy neighbourhood with apartment blocks and landed houses.

According to Singapore Street Names, the road owes its name to Raffles Institution. Stamford Raffles had given 1,000 acres of land in that area to the institution. However, after Raffles retired, the government bought back the land from the school. Over the subsequent years, ownership passed from one individual to another, and by the mid-1980s, the area was re-developed with apartments that we see today.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
